Dear Ms Zhang,

Thank you very much for letter of 14 August and accompanying booklet of your paintings. Let me congratulate you on your successes with respect to your exhibitions and recognition of your artwork.

I would like to reinforce to you the Australian Democrats support for your struggle and that of other Falun Gong practitioners. I have watched impressed as Falun Gong practitioners quietly protested opposite the Chinese Embassy. Drawing attention to the treatment of Falun Gong members in China.

I encourage you to continue your work. To continue to draw attention to human rights abuse not only in China but here in Australia. I assure you that we remain committed to your cause and wish you all the very best in your future endeavours.

Yours sincerely,

Andrew Bartlett

Australian Democrats' Senator for Queensland
